You can save a few bucks on Ebay. Vstream Tour Windshield Tall Dark Tint Suzuki M109R Boulevard 08 10 NC28205 | eBay ...that said..National Cycle is an exc manufacturer and I have used their products many times...

Yeah the brackets are labeled with a L and R but that appears to be from the position standing in front of the bike - not rider position. I had to go back to the instructions and look at the pictures to get it right. Do bottom line, the photos on the instructions were correct but the labels on the parts were not.

Interesting...I'm sure that has everything to do with the fact that the part was designed and engineered for a different bike! I would bet money they fit backwards due to angle differences in the two bikes.

 

[HilbillyKat]

The difference in rake angle between a meanie and a 109 is only 1 degree.

Watch the video, especially around 2:12...so what we're talking about won't get so confusing. How is what he did different from what you did?
(top brackets have the 'straight' bend lines and the lowers have the 'angle' bend lines)

Sure...but the difference in the gauges and the handlebar package is pretty significant.

You're the guru when it comes to comparison pics! Wondering just how many inches longer the touring is than the sport...could it be as simple as adding the 3" onto that lip...

3" according to the website is the height difference.National Cycle: Products: My Order

Based for everyone's info, especially yours Nyinfamous, I finally quit fidgeting over which one to buy and just now ordered the Sport version from Michael.
Hope they ship it by UPS...

With all these equal rights people these days..you might get a GUY with booty shorts! LOL

I pray I'm gone when that day gets here..but the way things have been going lately..who knows when that will be?!??!

 

[HilbillyKat]

I use that exact same stuff for everything from mounting pickup boxes to weatherstripping...good stuff to have around.

Sorry JJ, I have a 07 and I do have a V-Stream Sport, but mine isn't on there yet, and won't be for a while.
I agree, the pics of the V-Stream on Mean Carrea'a 08 SE in post #108 shows just how awesome it looks on a SE.


Thanks for the heads up! Excellent price, but they add shipping charges on to that price. Depending on their shipping charges, it may or may not be a better deal than the one I linked to earlier which included the shipping in the price.

Gonna buy one...

$13.90 to Oklahoma....about $188 total. That's less than the cost plus deal I get at work.

 

[HilbillyKat]

They are available for $221 on Amazon VSTREAM SHLD M109R DK TNT:Amazon:Automotive

 

[HilbillyKat]

They can be found cheaper than that.

Ok...The ones that were $179 are now $242 at twocycleguys.com

I forgot about Fly Motorsports....they are around $192

I'm just under 6 ft and I have the touring version, it works well for me. Very little buffeting. There is considerable adjustability past what I have it set at.
